Hello,

Greetings from Canada! Although it has been one month since we were at Silent Waters it is still
so fresh in our minds. I must apologize that I didn't leave my comment card behind but it was the last thing on my mind ........... I guess that is what happens when you feel you are leaving great friends behind. What a remarkable piece of heaven! Silent Waters is a piece of serenity hidden away on a mountain top. The Garden of Eden encircled us which ever way we turned a picture perfect setting from the gardens to the pools, the rooms and the main pavilion. Always immaculately maintained, we couldn't understand how this could be done as we never saw a soul working on it. The furnishings and decor take you to another place and time .......... a vacation to Jamaica and Bali all in 10 days. I fell in love with the paintings, you can feel the Indonesians souls as you look into each portrait. A funny thing was said one night at the dining table when some additional guests arrived "Wow that's pretty neat how they have the frog and cricket sounds piped in at night." We all roared with laughter as we told them that it was not music! As I said not a thing was over looked in this Heaven on Earth. Our group of 11 stayed there from April 18th to 25th, 2005 a time in our hearts and minds that went much too quickly. I spend months preparing for this holiday as my husband and I were married there. The rest of your staff also upheld all their responsibilities. Ossie kept our glasses full with a smile, our bellies stuffed and even provided us with all Jamaican information we needed. He went above and beyond for us and most of all we never had to ask! Nelson our driver was available at all times for him it was "no problem mon". We always felt safe as a group driving with him, we knew he would pick us up when promised. He was always kind and courteous. The housekeeping staff, Liz, Raquel and Rose Ann were always on top of things. We felt comfortable leaving our belongings out in our rooms, money, jewellery, never a question that they would be there upon our return. The rooms were as tidy each day as they were on arrival day. The girls were extremely pleasant while serving breakfast always very well dressed and maintained. They were a pleasure to visit with and share a laugh too! Betty and Paul, we didn't get to see much of them as they work more behind the scenes but what a treat to have someone do your laundry! Truly an excellent touch. Paul fixed us up with a fresh coconut one day we didn't even have to leave the villa. Chef Harry and his assistant, extraordinary meals. Each one was better than the next, done to perfection. I don't know if it was a healthy thing to have him cooking I could not stop eating. Please for my next visit, remove the scale from my room! Ha ha ha. Harry went above and beyond the expected, the meals were fabulous, breakfast, lunch and dinner it kept on coming and appetizers too! Fabulous, Fabulous! And last but not least John our night man, we would look for him at night, he has a terrific personality, we felt safe and relaxed in the evenings he even joined in the fun when we asked him to. I cannot convey the wonderful staff you have working for you, if you have traveled much (I know you have) one staff member can turn a vacation bad. I want you to know that you have absolutely no worries about this wonderful group of people. I must apologize if I missed someone ? let me tell you I would have remembered had they done something unethical! All were superb. We were married at Silent Waters, April 18th. A day we will not forget because of our wedding and the surreal atmosphere and surroundings around us. The band, the flowers, the hairstylist, the photography and the cake not a single flaw............they say something always goes wrong on the wedding day but at not Silent Waters. From all of us that experienced the 10 days in your tropical paradise we cannot thank you enough for creating this ingenious and beautiful holiday vacation. I would be more than happy to offer any references directed my way. I am now considering a career in recommending your Villa as it is all that I seem to talk about!!! We will no doubt be returning in the near future. Please say hello and thank you to all the staff, we think about our new friends often.

Kind Regards
Rochelle and Andre P, Canada, April 18-25, 2005
